Sony Corp unveils tablet, two phones

Sony Corp. took its time in the limelight at the Mobile World Congress trade fair here on Monday to prove to investors that its ‘One Sony’ strategy, a gameplan that involves all divisions of the working together, is showing signs of initial success.

The company, on Monday, took the wraps off a new Xperia Z2 smartphone with noise-cancelling technology and ultra-high-definition video recording — which no doubt comes from innovations borne out of its audio and camcorder business. It is also water-proof and comes with a 5.2 inch screen.

“With the Xperia Z2, we have taken our premium Z series to the next level, in a way that only Sony can deliver,” said Kunimasa Suzuki, President and CEO, Sony Mobile.

The company also announced the Xperia Z2 tablet, which features a 10.1 inch screen, and the Xperia M2 phone, which is being positioned as a cheaper alternative to the Xperia Z2. The M2 is only 4.8 inches and comes with a less powerful camera.
